CROPS SOWN IN AUTUMN EXPEHIMENTS AT ONTAB.IO AGKICULTTJBAI. COLLEGE. Encouraging Besults Have Been Obtained With Various Grains. The wheat harvest has been 'oni- ploted: at the Ontario Agricultural College. The weather conditions of the past year fiave been favorable throughout Ontario for the success- ful growth of most of the autumn- sown crops. The brief report hero presented gives some of the principal results of experiments conducted at the Agricultural College and throughout the province of Ontario. Sixty-one varieties of winter wheat were grown in the experimental de- partment during the past year. The live highest leading kinds were of the DaWson's Golden Chall class, having beardless heads, red chali and white grain. The yields in bushels of grain per acre of these varieties were as follows: Al)Uiidanco, 02.7; No. a White, 61.; .Suiierlativo. 60.1; Dawson's Golden ChafT, .'O.r) Ameri- can Wonder, .58.7. In weight of grain per measured bushel, all the live varieties went over the stand- ard of 60 Tbs., tho Dawson's Golden Chaff and the Abundance reaching 611 n>s. These vari:ot'ies are all softer in the grain, but yield more Inishols per acre than such sorts as Ta.smania R*l. No. .T Hod, Turkey Ked, Crimean' Hod and Buda Pesth. Those varieties of Red wheat which uave the highest yields of grain in ihopast year Wero as follows: Im- perial Amber, 38.2 bush.; .Auburn, .">7.r> bush.; Genesee Reliabl". ,")7.l bush.; Early Ontario. .'Jti.S bush, and rrospoiity, .').'>.9 bush, per acre. The average yield of grain per acre in 1905 was .56.7 bushels for 'he eigh- teen varieties of white wheat and .')1.7 bushels for the forty-thi-ee va- rieties of Red wheat. Generally speaking, the white wheats yield more grain per acre, pos.sess strong- er straw, weigh a littlo less per measunul bushel and are slightly softer in the grain than tho red va- rieties. Within the past few years. elTorts have been made to improve both the quality and the yieUl of grain of some of the best varieties of Winter wheat by moans of systematic se- lection and by CUOS.*: FKRTILIZATION. There' wero forty-one now strains of Winter wheat grown at tho College this year as a direct re; ult of the work in plant selection. ."-'oiue of these are very promising. Of twelve new strains of Dawson's (iolden Chaff, eleven yielded better than the ordinary variety reported in the previous paragraph, and two yield- ed at the rate of fully 68 bushels of grain per acre. Some of the most interesting croiis of Winter wheat grown at the (."ol- lego in 1905 wore those obtained from ero.sscs made between dilTerent varieties in previous years. Several thoii:!an(l hybrid plants wore grown .separatolv and are now being care- fully examined, nnd classified and I he sei>ds scli cted for autumn sow- ing. The.=e hybriils were .secured b.V .;rossing .such vnrietirs as Dawson's tJolden Chaff., Bulgarian, Turkey Med, etc. Tho object in this Work is to .secure new varieties which pos- se.ssos the good qualities and elimin- ate the poor qualities of the parent varieties. The results so far are very encouraging. The results of twelve .separate tests jiiado at the College show an average increase in yield of grain per acre of 6.8 bushels from large as compared with small seed, of 7..S bushels from plump us coiupare<l with shrunken .seed, and of :i':.(j bushels from sound as compared with broken seed. Seed which was allowed to become very ripe l)efi;re it was cut produced a greotcr yield of both grain and straw and a heav- ier weight of grain per measured bush.'l than that produced from wheat which was cut at any one of four earlier stages of maturity. In 181)7 and again in 1902, a large amount of the winter wheat in On- tario become sprouted before it was harvested owing to tho wet weather. Carefully conducted tests showed that an averogo of only 70 per cent, of the slightly sprouted and 18 jier cent, of the badly sprouted .seed would grow nnd produce plants. Surell^he is the wise farmer who will sow none but large, plump, sound, ripe seed of good vitality. In each of six .year.s. experiments have been conducted in treating wiiUef wheat in diflorent ways to kill llie slinking smut and the re- .sulls have been vofy satisfactory. Unlri-nted seed produced an average of 3.6 [ii-r cent, of smut in the cro)) of last year and 9.3 per cent, of smut in the crop of this season.

The results of an experiment coiiductod in the year 190() show that the win- ter wheat which was sown on red clover sod yielded 20.7 per cent, greater than that which was sown on timothy sod. Two years' re- sults with commercial fertilizers show that 160 lbs. per acre of ni- trate of soda increased tho yield of winter wheat 7.2 bu.shels at a cost of about eighty cents per bushel. As a result of hundreds of inquiries we learn that in Ontario, about 33 jier cent, of the winter wheat is sown on pea ground, 25 on clover sod, 11 on barley ground, 10 on timothy sod, 9 on summer fallow and 12 un land following potatoes, beans, oats, corn and roots. Many tests conducted at Guolph indicate the importanco of sowing about ninety pounds of winter wheat per acre on an average soil. This amount might be increa.sed for p,ior land and decreased for rich soil. If tho land is in a good state of culti- vation it matters but little whether tho seed is sown broadcast or with a tube drill, but if the land is dry or lumpy, that which is sown with tho breach, and covered by tho lire of the men below wero successful in their object, the havildur shooting one of the onemy on gaining the top. Tho successful issue of the assault was very greatly due? to the splendid exami)lu shown by Lieutenant Grant and llavildar ICarbir Pune. The lat- ter has been recommended for th*.
